Futsal Challenge is an activity-based, fundraiser which lays emphasis on the message of staying fit and healthy in the fight against Cancer. Futsal is a variation of football and is played on a smaller field which is mostly indoors. It has a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular football. This lets the players concentrate on improvisation and be more creative.
Futsal is widely believed to be the ideal skill building environment for producing technically excellent football players. It has unlimited substitutions and there are no throw-ins.
The event was aimed at increasing awareness of Cancer and CanSupport among young working people and companies. CanSupport believes that a healthy and holistic life improves the possibility of a cancer-free life in the long run.
Dr Sharma added, “We are glad that the event has been a great success. It instilled people with a spirit to fight cancer together.”
